We present the first measurement of temperature and polarization
angular power spectra of the diffuse emission of Galactic dust at
353 GHz as seen by Archeops on 20% of the sky. The temperature
angular power spectrum is compatible with that provided by the
extrapolation to 353 GHz of IRAS and DIRBE maps using Finkbeiner et al. (1999, ApJ, 524, 867) model
number 8. For Galactic latitudes deg we report a 4 sigma
detection of large scale (
)
temperature-polarization cross-correlation
and set upper limits to the E and B
mode polarization at
. For Galactic latitudes
deg, on the same angular scales, we report a 2 sigma
detection of temperature-polarization cross-correlation
. These results
are then extrapolated to 100 GHz to estimate the contamination in CMB measurements by polarized diffuse Galactic dust emission. The TE signal is then
and
for
and 10 deg respectively. The upper limit on E and B mode
polarization becomes
. If the
physical properties of dust radiation on the fraction of the sky
observed by Archeops are representative of the whole sky, and if the
actual level of E and B mode polarization is close to this upper
limit, then dust polarized radiation will be a major foreground for
determining the polarization power spectra of the CMB at high
frequencies above 100 GHz.
